Noun

black hole

  1. The most dense material in the universe, usually formed by a collapsing massive star. It is so dense that the matter is condensed into a single point, known as a singularity, and the gravity is so intense that not even light can escape it if it has entered the event horizon. As a result of the intense gravity, space and time itself are warped around the event horizon and time is slowed to almost nothing for anything entering the event horizon.
